Speaker 1: With us, ladies and gentlemen. Back, Drew. Great to be back.
0:23
Speaker 3: Great to be uh, back to this feast of conversation
0:26
Speaker 3: we're gonna have. I'm sure about the trade deadline, which
0:28
Speaker 3: was hot unfortunately where I was as well as weekend,
0:32
Speaker 3: not because it was DC necessarily, but because of the
0:34
Speaker 3: family I was with. It was a great time though.
0:36
Speaker 3: It was a fantastic weekend. Got to see my cousin
0:39
Speaker 3: get married, got to see a lot of family I
0:40
Speaker 3: haven't seen in a while. Lenna, got to meet her cousin,
0:43
Speaker 3: a lot of her cousins for the first time.
0:45
Speaker 1: It was great.
0:46
Speaker 3: Everything was going well until it was probably about ten
0:52
Speaker 3: thirty Eastern time on Saturday night.
0:55
Speaker 1: We had just you.
0:57
Speaker 3: Know, we had finished some nice boclub on the dessert table.
1:00
Speaker 1: The chairs had just been ready.
1:01
Speaker 3: The bride and groom had just rode there and taken
1:03
Speaker 3: their ride in the chairs across the dance floor, as
1:06
Speaker 3: you do it at army and wedding every now and then,
1:08
Speaker 3: as you'll see, Uh, you know, my aunts were just
1:11
Speaker 3: finished getting nervous about the thousand things that might or
1:14
Speaker 3: might not have gone wrong with the Nothing went wrong
1:17
Speaker 3: with the wedding, but you know how it is at weddings,
1:19
Speaker 3: and then the word gets around in the middle of
1:21
Speaker 3: the dance floor from my cousin who gets married. I
1:24
Speaker 3: guess it should have been his day. He was a big,
1:25
Speaker 3: big Dodgers fan. Okay, he did go to UW, but
1:28
Speaker 3: he's a big Dodgers fan because he grew up in
1:30
Speaker 3: the LA area and as you can imagine, drew a
1:34
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of California's there a lot of
1:37
Speaker 3: La California where I mean, the word gets around, Oh
1:41
Speaker 3: we got schoobl. That's the first I heard about it.
1:44
Speaker 3: That's the first I had learned and heard that we
1:46
Speaker 3: had lost out in the school sweepstakes. Was there celebration
1:50
Speaker 3: as word got around the day had acquired Tark Schoobl
1:54
Speaker 3: And oh, just the efitome brutality having to watch all
1:57
Speaker 3: these Dodger fans celebrate. And it was like, you know,
2:01
Speaker 3: what's the old gift emotional damage? As I realized it
2:06
Speaker 3: was in us, and it's a it's a two fell swoop.
2:09
Speaker 3: You know, you don't get him in your your biggest competitor,
2:12
Speaker 3: one of your biggest competitors in the playoff does acquire him.
2:14
Speaker 3: So all that was happening at once. It was kind
2:17
Speaker 3: of ironic that it all happened the way it did.
2:20
Speaker 3: And then you know, and my other cousins were in
2:22
Speaker 3: Red Sox Land. They were trying to console me and
2:25
Speaker 3: convince me that, you know, there's something weird about this trade.
2:29
Speaker 3: And we were going at it in a good we know,
2:31
Speaker 3: I'm bad, like we were going back and forth about
2:33
Speaker 3: this and you know, and then that's where the conversation
2:36
Speaker 3: has arose all weekend, and I'm sure it did yesterday,
2:39
Speaker 3: right Drew. I mean, as the big conversation of the
2:41
Speaker 3: trade deadline, of what's going on with that? And was
2:44
Speaker 3: there a little side eye of what's going on in
2:47
Speaker 3: this situation? But oh he's poor, these poor Dodger fans. Well,
2:51
Speaker 3: we needed to tip pitching help. We were so banged up.
2:53
Speaker 3: We don't know if Blake Snell's healthy army and we
2:55
Speaker 3: don't get me up. Give me break, don't complain about
2:58
Speaker 3: your twentieth Mercedes.
3:00
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So fron trip to d C. Wait,
3:02
Speaker 1: trip trip seeing the.
3:04
Speaker 2: Family wedding was blissful happy.
3:06
Speaker 3: What it was at the Mayflower Hotel drew right down there,
3:09
Speaker 3: right in the middle of DC where all the action is.
3:11
Speaker 1: Did you see any political celebrities? I didn't, nobody.
3:14
Speaker 2: From the nerd prom like the White House correspondents Dinner
3:17
Speaker 2: of the week after.
3:18
Speaker 3: You know what's funny is you walk around the town
3:20
Speaker 3: there and and everybody that walks by, I'm like, what
3:24
Speaker 3: is this? Is this some staffer or is this some
3:26
Speaker 3: senator staffer or something like that. I kept making the
3:29
Speaker 3: joke because we're trying to take group pictures and we
3:31
Speaker 3: needed to find someone take a picture. I'm like, isn't
3:32
Speaker 3: there a senator around that can take a picture for
3:34
Speaker 3: us or something like that. But we were able to
3:36
Speaker 3: see some sites. Obviously, I didn't realize this. I and
3:39
Speaker 3: my dad was telling me about this that that it
3:41
Speaker 3: was special because it was at the same hotel. My
3:44
Speaker 3: grandparents were married in like seventy years ago in.
3:48
Speaker 1: The same place. So it was kind of good. Yeah,
3:50
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool.
3:51
Speaker 3: But flashing back, okay, yeah, but it was good listen,
3:53
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was great. You know, my
3:55
Speaker 3: young daughter won't remember any of it, but she had
3:57
Speaker 3: to see some historical sites for the first time and
4:00
Speaker 3: and got to experience and she'll be back one day. Absolutely,
4:04
Speaker 3: So it was. It was a great weekend. It was
4:06
Speaker 3: super hot out there. I know, we had more rain
4:08
Speaker 3: this weekend here temporal weather, super hot human all all uh,
4:12
Speaker 3: all weekend in the in the speak there you go, Well,
4:16
Speaker 3: lots to unpack.
4:17
Speaker 2: Brewers lost to the pirates last night. Yeah, and there's
4:22
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot to say about this. Uh And
4:24
Speaker 2: the trade deadline you mentioned the part one was all right,
4:27
Speaker 2: they didn't get scooball how will they pivot?
4:30
Speaker 1: Pivot?
4:32
Speaker 2: And they pivoted to a trade and unlikely trade with
4:36
Speaker 2: the Saint Louis Cardinals.
4:38
Speaker 1: Division division rival trade. You don't see that a lot, right, Drew.
4:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it wouldn't have happened with the cops probably,
4:43
Speaker 3: but the Cardinals are not by any means out of
4:46
Speaker 3: a wild card. Berth or anything like that, so that
4:49
Speaker 3: was sort of interesting to me.
4:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they get the the main piece is Dustin
4:54
Speaker 2: May and then the side piece, if you will, is
4:57
Speaker 2: Jojo Romero, the uh, the left handed reliever. I think
5:02
Speaker 2: they're both pretty solid pitchers. Romero's coming back from appendicitis
5:07
Speaker 2: burst appendix, so he's not ready to throw right away.
5:11
Speaker 2: And Dustin May's pretty good. Took a no hitter into
5:12
Speaker 2: the eighth against the Brewers right here at am Fam Field.
5:14
Speaker 2: His stuff has been good. He's solid. I've seen him
5:17
Speaker 2: pitch a couple of memorable games at American Family Field,
5:20
Speaker 2: including the one just recently this year when he took
5:23
Speaker 2: a no hitter into the eighth. I was also there
5:26
Speaker 2: when his uh he was pitching for the Dodgers and
5:29
Speaker 2: his ucl snapped and he had to have Tommy John surgery.
5:33
Speaker 2: And I saw him walk off and it was like, oh,
5:35
Speaker 2: he's headed for a year off.
5:36
Speaker 1: And he's the guy.
5:37
Speaker 3: He's a guy that was signed on a one year
5:39
Speaker 3: deal this year. I believe he was, you know.
5:42
Speaker 1: So they kind of something.
5:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got flipped last year too, so Dustin Maye,
5:47
Speaker 2: but he's he's showing im provement.
5:48
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys.
5:49
Speaker 2: With really good stuff that you just have faith that
5:51
Speaker 2: Chris Hook and Jim Henderson and the crew are going
5:53
Speaker 2: to be able to get him to be the best
5:55
Speaker 2: version of himself.
5:56
Speaker 1: So that is not a bad pickup. I liked it.
6:00
Speaker 2: Then just before the deadline, brus went at another right
6:03
Speaker 2: handed arm. Anthony sends it tella or Antonio sends it.
6:07
Speaker 2: Sends a tella from the Rockies. Who's the guy I liked?
6:10
Speaker 2: I just saw him pitch, and he pitched against the
6:12
Speaker 2: Bruce when the Rockies were here just a little while ago,
6:15
Speaker 2: and it's like, Oh, he'd look good in their bullpen.
6:17
Speaker 1: He's a he's you know, he's got some swag.
6:20
Speaker 2: He's he's gonna be a good piece leverage seven eight nine.
6:25
Speaker 2: Guy doesn't melt down, good stuff.
6:27
Speaker 1: I like that guy.
6:28
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, that'd be nice if they coul trade
6:29
Speaker 2: for him, and lo and behold they did. He almost
6:31
Speaker 2: feel like Nagler's never right.
6:33
Speaker 3: Productive year for the for the Rockies three point six,
6:38
Speaker 3: So good, good pick up.
6:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:40
Speaker 2: But Matt Arnold spoke to the meet and we'll be
6:42
Speaker 2: listening to those comments later. But Matt Arnold spoke to
6:44
Speaker 2: the media after the deadline and this whole thing with
6:49
Speaker 2: schools getting weirder and weirder because there's there's a lot
6:54
Speaker 2: of talk people are like, well, why didn't the Brewers
6:56
Speaker 2: beat this kind of middling offer that the Dodgers took.
6:58
Speaker 1: First of all?
6:59
Speaker 2: And I would ask this of your cousins and the
7:02
Speaker 2: any Dodgers fans, and my buddy Jeff Perlman expressed it
7:05
Speaker 2: perfectly on his little TikTok or whatever he was doing yesterday.
7:08
Speaker 2: Pearl just he floods the zone with a social media
7:11
Speaker 2: and I'm Jeff Perlman, Sports author to the Stars, friend
7:15
Speaker 2: of the show. He uh, He's like, well, if you're
7:18
Speaker 2: talk just saying, where's the joy? Like, how do you
7:20
Speaker 2: celebrate that? Like, oh, we got another guy? Of course
7:22
Speaker 2: you did? You always you get everybody like and like
7:25
Speaker 2: you they really felt joy about.
7:27
Speaker 1: This, Oh yeah, big time.
7:28
Speaker 2: I mean like they didn't need him, like they could
7:30
Speaker 2: have won the World Series. They probably would have won
7:32
Speaker 2: the World Series without him, but they went and got
7:34
Speaker 2: him because they can.
7:35
Speaker 1: And rmon, you missed it. Yesterday.
7:37
Speaker 2: We had a lot of people firing up on the
7:39
Speaker 2: talkattech Sloe, which you can reach us on by the way,
7:41
Speaker 2: Nikolay loada comp talking tex sign eight seven seven seven
7:43
Speaker 2: nine to four one ninety seven three comment on the
7:46
Speaker 2: YouTube stream too, check in five o'clock Clubbers. But a
7:48
Speaker 2: lot of people saying this is a conspiracy and this
7:51
Speaker 2: is baseball and the owners want a salary cap so
7:54
Speaker 2: they like either the owners pressured the Tigers to send
7:59
Speaker 2: him to detro to la or the Tiger's owner wanted
8:04
Speaker 2: to help bring in a salary cap for himself and
8:06
Speaker 2: took a lesser package to send. You know this, this
8:11
Speaker 2: asset to laure and I ain't buying that. There's no way.
8:15
Speaker 3: Well, my response to that when people were asking me
8:17
Speaker 3: the same question was to do that, the Tigers would
8:20
Speaker 3: have had to harm their own organization the product exactly.
8:23
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, it's possible. They just like these
8:26
Speaker 3: prospects better.
8:27
Speaker 2: As with most conspiracy theories, it falls apart because all
8:31
Speaker 2: the motivation is sketchy and they're not they're not that smart.
8:36
Speaker 2: There's not this big picture cabal of people pulling strings
8:39
Speaker 2: that people like to think. There's not the the Wizard
8:41
Speaker 2: of Oz behind the curtain telling owners what to do
8:44
Speaker 2: and stuff that just because first of all, you'd know
8:46
Speaker 2: about it because anytime that more than one person knows
8:49
Speaker 2: about something, it's getting out right.
8:52
Speaker 1: And it's just that.
8:55
Speaker 2: If you want a conspiracy theory, and I can spin
8:59
Speaker 2: this back to the Bucks signing a player for above
9:04
Speaker 2: market value, at the root of this I can't get
9:09
Speaker 2: past Scott Boris. Scott Boris is Trek Schooble's agent, and
9:13
Speaker 2: he is he is the master at maximizing value for
9:18
Speaker 2: his own players. And it's not about helping teams. It's
9:22
Speaker 2: not about helping players. It's like, it's not about helping
9:24
Speaker 2: players help teams. It's about helping players make as much
9:27
Speaker 2: as they possibly can. And Schooble, when he signs next year,
9:32
Speaker 2: he might be the highest paid pitcher of all time.
9:33
Speaker 1: He might get four hundred million dollars.
9:36
Speaker 2: Might be that he might crack that barrier that his
9:38
Speaker 2: Boris has cracked so many barriers before that we didn't
9:41
Speaker 2: think anybody would ever crack.
9:43
Speaker 1: But if whatever.
9:45
Speaker 2: Leverage Boris had, like the Detroit Tuckers, had no reason
9:50
Speaker 2: to send Schooble to his preferred destination, just as the
9:55
Speaker 2: Bucks didn't really have any reason to send you Honest
9:57
Speaker 2: to where he wanted to go, right, they because our
10:01
Speaker 2: transaction is ending, and we owe you nothing, and we've
10:04
Speaker 2: paid you what we've paid you, and you've won a
10:06
Speaker 2: couple cy Youngs for us, and we are parting ways.
10:09
Speaker 1: So that's what I would help themselves. Did Scott Boris?
10:12
Speaker 2: I have to do a deep dive on this because
10:14
Speaker 2: it just hit me kind of in the shower today
10:16
Speaker 2: that you know, he's the root of much baseball evil
10:19
Speaker 2: these days can be traced to television greed avarice, and
10:25
Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to greed and avarice, there's
10:28
Speaker 2: Scott Boris. Tom Haudcourt, our beloved friend, the Dean of
10:33
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Baseball scribes he was known as the Prince of darkness. Yes,
10:37
Speaker 2: but even he would allow that Scott Boris is the
10:41
Speaker 2: true prince of darkness in baseball because there was times
10:44
Speaker 2: when the Brewers wouldn't draft guys because they were represented
10:47
Speaker 2: by Boris. It's hard to trade for guys. Sometimes you
10:51
Speaker 2: won't trade for guys that are Boris clients, and that
10:53
Speaker 2: you know, you take your chance to see you when
10:56
Speaker 2: you buy a ticket to that ride. But if Scott
11:00
Speaker 2: Boris has other clients with the Tigers, be they you know,
11:07
Speaker 2: rising stars or just you know, he doesn't have it.
11:10
Speaker 1: He has some jabbronis. But did he exert.
11:13
Speaker 2: Influence and say, oh, well, I'll give you a deal
11:16
Speaker 2: on this guy if you send my guy to where
11:18
Speaker 2: he wants to go now kind of like people think.
11:21
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, that's I think that's very possible because Scott's
11:26
Speaker 3: trying to help his own business.
11:27
Speaker 2: The package that the Dodgers got, and the Brewers basically
11:30
Speaker 2: said it without saying it, it's like our package was
11:32
Speaker 2: seen by many as better as competitive, and they didn't
11:34
Speaker 2: take it. And like it didn't even seem like the Tigers,
11:37
Speaker 2: like we're playing one team off the other the way
11:39
Speaker 2: you would is like they were just going to send
11:42
Speaker 2: him to LA.
11:42
Speaker 3: That was the other thing that people were questioning Scott Harrison.
11:46
Speaker 3: Scott Harrison, the Tigers president, and he said that was
11:49
Speaker 3: garbage criticism.
11:50
Speaker 1: He denied it all.
11:51
Speaker 2: But you look at the package and they got the
11:53
Speaker 2: Dodgers what eleventh and eighteenth prospect, you know, and.
11:56
Speaker 3: They didn't even get one of their top three outfielders,
11:59
Speaker 3: a couple of guys and a couple of pictures that
12:01
Speaker 3: have already had time of John.
12:03
Speaker 1: And then was a rental.
12:04
Speaker 2: Then the Tigers flip Casey Mice, who has some team control.
12:09
Speaker 2: Granted that's a factor, but they got the second. They
12:13
Speaker 2: got the padres second best prospect back in the deal.
12:18
Speaker 1: It's puzzling you and.
12:19
Speaker 2: Trek Scuball And I was wondering after schoobl signed and
12:21
Speaker 2: we came on Monday, I'm like, I'm wondering what this
12:23
Speaker 2: does for Mice because how are you going to pay
12:25
Speaker 2: more for Mice than the Dodgers paid for Schooble. It
12:28
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense if I'm another GM, like, well, wait
12:30
Speaker 2: a minute, if that's the market, the only argument you
12:33
Speaker 2: can make is the service time are they Yeah, the
12:36
Speaker 2: control control time? I mean otherwise quantity and Padres have
12:41
Speaker 2: money to sign guys beyond you know, their acquisition and
12:44
Speaker 2: San Diego is a place when guys get there, they
12:46
Speaker 2: like it because it's a good place to be a
12:47
Speaker 2: pro athlete.
12:48
Speaker 3: Dodger's top five guys, especially the top three guys, are
12:51
Speaker 3: these outfielders they have in their system that especially uh
12:54
Speaker 3: holst Wait Depaula.
12:55
Speaker 1: Everyone likes him hot. Now I don't.
12:57
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone expected him to go because it's
13:00
Speaker 3: just like with made Brewers make him untouchable, but the
13:04
Speaker 3: ideas that you like you should have a you should
13:05
Speaker 3: have to give away one of your other ones to
13:07
Speaker 3: Rota or ed Wato.
13:08
Speaker 1: Cantaro, which they didn't.
13:09
Speaker 3: So there was a lot of like, oh, we got
13:12
Speaker 3: him and we didn't have to give up these guys.
13:13
Speaker 2: There's bors has a bunch of clients with the Dodgers,
13:16
Speaker 2: but that and it's like there had to be some
13:19
Speaker 2: quid pro quote doctor Lecter. There had to be something
13:21
Speaker 2: there with Boris engineering this. I just feel like there
13:25
Speaker 2: has to be because the Tigers had no obligation to
13:28
Speaker 2: send Scooble where he wanted to go and where he
13:31
Speaker 2: likely was gonna end up anyway. It's just like they
13:33
Speaker 2: so whatever influence was exerted, like Rich Paul and Scott
13:36
Speaker 2: Boris kingmakers on the agent side, and like.
13:40
Speaker 1: Who's the football equivalent of.
13:41
Speaker 2: That, like it used to be Lee Steinberg, Rosen maybe Rosenhouse.
13:45
Speaker 1: Those guys can they they have.
13:46
Speaker 3: Their they have their little grubby paws in there, David, Yes,
13:50
Speaker 3: Is that what Billy would say?
13:52
Speaker 1: Quarterback?
13:53
Speaker 2: I haven't worked shopped this and I don't know, and
13:55
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to do. You have to dive into
13:57
Speaker 2: like what other clients do they do the the Tigers
14:00
Speaker 2: have any young players that are represented by Boris that
14:03
Speaker 2: they might want to deal with or that he'll maybe,
14:06
Speaker 2: you know, quid pro quo.
14:07
Speaker 1: There had to be something else there.
14:09
Speaker 2: But anyway, the Brewers pivot and then like man speaking
14:13
Speaker 2: of the Padres, Padres got Robbie Ray and Casey Mice.
14:16
Speaker 1: They added they didn't sell everyone.
14:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were waiting for them to sell Mason Miller
14:20
Speaker 2: and they ended up adding Robbie Ray and Casey Mice.
14:25
Speaker 2: And had the Brewers gotten those two arms, I think
14:28
Speaker 2: people here would have been, you know, there had been
14:30
Speaker 2: a parade down Wisconsin Avenue.
14:31
Speaker 1: That would have that would have sad the wound more
14:33
Speaker 1: than dustin Dustin May and sends the tailor and Romero.
14:38
Speaker 3: And it's hard for Brewers fans, you know, as much
14:40
Speaker 3: as we win in the field, it's another year of
14:42
Speaker 3: seeing everybody come to class with their new Christmas.
14:44
Speaker 2: And you know, here's the thing, and the Brewers are
14:47
Speaker 2: this scrappy little engine that could, and they've been overachievers
14:50
Speaker 2: and well we don't have to go through the list
14:53
Speaker 2: of reasons that we like watching this team and their vibe,
14:57
Speaker 2: but the kind of sagged noticeably on Sunday, and I'm
15:03
Speaker 2: and then last night, oh it's a little bit of
15:05
Speaker 2: drone maybe you know, uh, putting pressure on himself.
15:09
Speaker 1: We couldn't get the comeback completed and made a mistake.
15:12
Speaker 2: And so these two games that there has been like
15:15
Speaker 2: a like I felt like they found out Saturday after
15:19
Speaker 2: their game which they won, that they weren't getting scooball
15:23
Speaker 2: and like, okay, Sunday they lost in sweep. Did that
15:27
Speaker 2: did that hurt morale? Did it hurt the fog of
15:30
Speaker 2: the season? I think it might have.
15:32
Speaker 3: Well and and Pat said it, and I think there's
15:34
Speaker 3: no way it can't affect you this time. But I
15:36
Speaker 3: think you have to try and now find a way
15:38
Speaker 3: to put it behind it.
15:39
Speaker 2: And I don't think I don't think the fan base
15:42
Speaker 2: is that excited about Dustin May and remember they're glad
15:44
Speaker 2: that they did something. And again, I think Sensatella is
15:48
Speaker 2: a good arm and like they're good pickups, but.
15:50
Speaker 3: There's no question they're good pickups, but it's not you're
15:52
Speaker 3: looking at the other toys the cat and when you
15:54
Speaker 3: look at and when you look what the other kids
15:55
Speaker 3: got under the tree, and when you look at what
15:57
Speaker 3: the Brewers had in the coffers that they could have spent.
16:00
Speaker 2: Now as soon as the dust and may Romero trade
16:03
Speaker 2: hit and people realized that they were given away to
16:06
Speaker 2: rising prospects that are eighteen nineteen. You know studs, Well,
16:10
Speaker 2: the brush the farm systems littered with studs Biloxi. Every
16:13
Speaker 2: day someone's going five for five. Yeah, and it's hitting
16:16
Speaker 2: a couple hummers. It's crazy.
16:17
Speaker 1: But it's the basis of this.
16:20
Speaker 2: And that's the thing is like the fans want them
16:21
Speaker 2: to do something, and then in the immediate aftermath of
16:24
Speaker 2: the Dustin may Romero acquisition, like all that they gave
16:28
Speaker 2: up too much. Well, you can't have it both ways,
16:30
Speaker 2: and that's what and that's the price of doing business
16:32
Speaker 2: in the end. That's so we every time we talk
16:34
Speaker 2: to somebody about this in the phone, we'll get a fan,
16:36
Speaker 2: we'll get someone text in.
16:37
Speaker 3: It's always we should make the move. But then it's like,
16:40
Speaker 3: would you give up this? Well, no, I wouldn't do that. Yeah,
16:42
Speaker 3: well we have to think it. Really it really you
16:45
Speaker 3: can relate it. I've tried to to like a family
16:48
Speaker 3: trying to keep a budget, and that's what the Brewers
16:50
Speaker 3: are on. They don't have the same budget everyone else
16:53
Speaker 3: does in terms of how they keep their house maintained, right, right,
16:56
Speaker 3: the Brewers keep the lights on by maintaining winning, by
16:59
Speaker 3: maintaining aspects and like, we have to take a vacation
17:03
Speaker 3: this year, we have to spend the money on that.
17:04
Speaker 1: Okay, this is here, we do it.
17:06
Speaker 3: Well, should we take it out of the h the
17:08
Speaker 3: budget for the bills for for potentially you know, for
17:12
Speaker 3: a c breaks down. No, we can't do any of that. Well,
17:14
Speaker 3: then that's how it goes. So unfortunately, this is the reality.
17:18
Speaker 2: So you know, this is by the way, the Brewers
17:20
Speaker 2: get Sensatela and they gave up Mark man Freddy left
17:23
Speaker 2: handed pitcher, and a nineteen year old infielder named Juan Martinez,
17:27
Speaker 2: neither guy that I'd really ever heard of.
17:28
Speaker 1: That's fine.
17:29
Speaker 2: They're deep prospects, not in the top thirty according to
17:32
Speaker 2: most of the rankings. So they have Gaspnel's yeah, go ahead,
17:35
Speaker 2: Gasparll know him, and Sansatela is Venezuela, and he's gonna mesh.
17:38
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be the key to this.
17:39
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be a huge guy for them.
17:41
Speaker 2: Might be mesh with Cantreras and he's they're going to
17:44
Speaker 2: be Uh, he's like Ashby, he has nine wins out
17:46
Speaker 2: of the bullpen this year.
17:47
Speaker 1: He's like, he's he's been a starter before he's pitched.
17:50
Speaker 2: He pitched the Brewers in the NLDS in twenty eighteen.
17:54
Speaker 1: He started.
17:54
Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, that's hard to believe, isn't it been that long? Yeah,
17:58
Speaker 3: he's thirty one. It's a good piece, experienced army.
18:01
Speaker 1: He's been with the Rocky since seventeen and you know
18:03
Speaker 1: that's a team we don't pay attention to because they've
18:05
Speaker 1: been bad.
18:06
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's really he's got good stuff that that's
18:08
Speaker 2: a good pickup. Zelan connection which is Hu and then
18:12
Speaker 2: you know Ramero when he gets back, you know from
18:14
Speaker 2: his illness which is not an arm illness.
18:16
Speaker 1: It was in a burst appendix.
18:17
Speaker 2: I think he's closed games before last year and the
18:21
Speaker 2: late of the year before, so he's.
18:22
Speaker 1: He's got again, so decent pickups.
18:24
Speaker 2: But not if I'm grading the Brewers at the deadline,
18:27
Speaker 2: I can't go higher than like a C plus.
18:30
Speaker 3: I saw a sea as well. I saw plus. You
18:33
Speaker 3: know there's a lot of grades coming out. Yeah, I
18:35
Speaker 3: saw that we were the big lute. It is what
18:36
Speaker 3: it is.
18:37
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
18:37
Speaker 2: They didn't get scooball and they but they might have
18:39
Speaker 2: had the best, so it might have been forces beyond
18:42
Speaker 2: their control. So everybody was bitching about they're too cheap,
18:46
Speaker 2: adam Ozio is too cheap. Now it sure seems well
18:49
Speaker 2: they have to pick up like nine million on Scooba's
18:51
Speaker 2: kind of like they were going.
18:52
Speaker 1: To eat it. I don't think the issue was that. No,
18:55
Speaker 1: I don't either.
18:56
Speaker 2: I don't think, and I think it was a Scott
18:57
Speaker 2: Boris Tigers grease ball inside trading thing that they they
19:03
Speaker 2: were gonna send La you have.
19:04
Speaker 3: A I mean, and I don't know, we don't know
19:06
Speaker 3: exactly what the offer or final offer was, but it
19:08
Speaker 3: seemed like very good.
19:09
Speaker 1: Maybe pay if it was like Henderson and paina, it's
19:13
Speaker 1: a better offer than what they got.
19:14
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and Henderson has been pitching better in the short
19:17
Speaker 3: and the short.
19:18
Speaker 2: But the thing is now the Tigers will counter and say, well,
19:20
Speaker 2: we didn't want We're in a mode where we think
19:22
Speaker 2: we're gonna be good next year and they might be,
19:25
Speaker 2: and it's like we want, we want, we want major
19:27
Speaker 2: league ready. We want guys closer to uh prime time
19:30
Speaker 2: than you know, maybe the Brewers.
19:32
Speaker 1: There's always plausible deniability.
19:34
Speaker 3: They just like the prospects, like theres better, all right,
19:37
Speaker 3: So that that's where Tigers fans and we'll get we'll
19:39
Speaker 3: get to it. But that's where Tigers fans could say,
19:41
Speaker 3: like is Harris being I don't buy.
19:44
Speaker 2: The the Commissioner's office put their thumb on the scale.
19:47
Speaker 2: I don't buy that the Tigers were doing this to
19:48
Speaker 2: help the cause of the salary cap.
19:50
Speaker 1: I don't buy that at all.
19:52
Speaker 2: But I could buy that that by that Scott Boris
19:54
Speaker 2: had a hand in this and the Tigers, I could
19:57
Speaker 2: buy that the Tigers president is that smart either.
20:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like his explanation, but I mean or whatever.
20:03
Speaker 3: I mean, there's always a plausible deniability by saying we
20:07
Speaker 3: like their players better.
20:08
Speaker 2: And that's the point went in doubt and you're looking
20:09
Speaker 2: for evil in sports. You can blame the greed to
20:12
Speaker 2: the owners, you can blame television, and you can blame
20:14
Speaker 2: Scott Boris, slash Rich Paul slash you know, Mulgeta and
20:17
Speaker 2: the top agents.
20:18
Speaker 1: That's that's where we're at.
20:19
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, unfortunately, and I know we'll get to break.
20:23
Speaker 3: It's just puzzling why they would have chosen that package
20:26
Speaker 3: over ours. Now there's a subjectivity.
20:29
Speaker 2: To us, right the Scott Boris element. What other clients
20:33
Speaker 2: does he have? What are what are they going to
20:34
Speaker 2: do down the road? Does you know who does he represent?
20:37
Speaker 2: Who else is there is he going to send? Well
20:40
Speaker 2: a Scott Boris client of a middling nature signed with
20:44
Speaker 2: the Tigers in the winter maybe and then will there
20:48
Speaker 2: be an investigation the way the carry Trent investigation.
20:52
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking, all right.
20:53
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, seven, nine to four, one ninety seven three.
20:55
Speaker 2: Good to have armor back. Billy's gonna drop by on
20:57
Speaker 2: his way to Green Bay. I'm going up to practice
20:59
Speaker 2: today to watch the pack cavort Billy. He'll be hosting
21:02
Speaker 2: training camp live from eleven to one on these airwaves
21:05
Speaker 2: and interwebs. And Scott Dolphin is back from his trip
21:09
Speaker 2: to Iceland. We had him welcome him back yesterday. He'll
21:11
Speaker 2: be in for halftime. We're glad you're with us. Five
21:13
Speaker 2: o'clock clubers, insomniac sociopaths, early risers. People banging on the
21:18
Speaker 2: door at the health club, Glad you're here in the huddle.
21:21
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. I was a little tied up
21:26
Speaker 2: yesterday and the pads are on now, so let's go.
21:28
Speaker 2: Let's have some fun, all right. You can hit us
21:30
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety seven to
21:33
Speaker 2: three gets you into the nicolay Low dot com talking
21:35
Speaker 2: text line check in with us. Obviously, we're parsing what
21:37
Speaker 2: happened with the Brewers and where everything shakes out. Brewers
21:41
Speaker 2: were not the big winner of the trade deadline, but
21:43
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that much because again, last year they
21:52
Speaker 2: had the most wins in baseball, did they not? They
21:54
Speaker 2: didn't win the trade deadline last year.
21:56
Speaker 3: Either, No, And then that's what that's what we're really
21:58
Speaker 3: dealing with here, is that obviously the Brewers are, you know,
22:02
Speaker 3: except for the loss last night. Well the Dodgers lost too,
22:04
Speaker 3: so they the best record in baseball.
22:06
Speaker 1: But about the Cubs, they were.
22:10
Speaker 3: Aggressive, get Gosman, you get all these guys, I know,
22:14
Speaker 3: and when they pick up down blanking.
22:16
Speaker 1: I just had the rundown when they picked up yesterday.
22:19
Speaker 3: But they are, you know, even even with Tyrone Taylor
22:22
Speaker 3: and Clay Holmes. Yeah, and Taylor Taylor's been not I'm
22:26
Speaker 3: not sure the Cubs fans can be giddy. They're excited
22:28
Speaker 3: they're trying to make a move. They're keeping the pressure
22:30
Speaker 3: on the Brewers here in the central, no doubt about it.
22:32
Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't for the Brewers record, the Cubs
22:35
Speaker 3: would be We've been talking about the first place Cubs
22:37
Speaker 3: in most divisions right right, all.
22:39
Speaker 1: Right, So yesterday Bruers lose. Brandon Sproute struggled.
22:44
Speaker 2: He was removed from the game in the middle of
22:46
Speaker 2: it at bat after a couple of wild pitches, very rare.
22:51
Speaker 1: Thing in baseball for a starter to be roomed in
22:53
Speaker 1: the middle.
22:56
Speaker 2: And the bullpen held and Brus came back a little bit,
22:58
Speaker 2: but they still lost four to three to the Pirates.
23:00
Speaker 2: So let's take a listen to Hunter's recap of yesterday's
23:04
Speaker 2: proceedings at American Family Field, at least from the standpoint
23:07
Speaker 2: of what happened between the lines, because when Murph went
23:10
Speaker 2: and Brandon Sprout walked off the mound yesterday after giving
23:14
Speaker 2: the ball to his skipper, he was basically walking out
23:18
Speaker 2: of the rotation, right because Harrison's coming back and Dustin
23:22
Speaker 2: May is joining, and so he's now does he go
23:25
Speaker 2: to Nashville and, like, you know, let's try to start
23:28
Speaker 2: and get his groove back does he stay here and
23:30
Speaker 2: pitch in the bullpen. They're figuring that out, but let's
23:33
Speaker 2: take a listen to Hunter's recap of last night's Brewers
23:36
Speaker 2: lost at American Family Field.
23:38
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, Brewers fall to the Pirates last night. Four
23:41
Speaker 4: to three the final score, and it wasn't the Brewers
23:45
Speaker 4: night from the jump, although they did make a comeback.
23:47
Speaker 4: Brandon spru was taken out in the middle of a batter.
23:50
Speaker 4: Garrett Stallings comes in, keeps the Pirates at bay, and
23:54
Speaker 4: the Brewers make a comeback.
23:55
Speaker 1: It was four to three.
23:56
Speaker 4: They had the tying run on base in the ninth
23:58
Speaker 4: inning but could not come through. The Brewers have lost
24:01
Speaker 4: two straight games. They're back at it coming up tonight
24:03
Speaker 4: with Logan Henderson on the mound. Kyle Harrison set to
24:06
Speaker 4: return to the rotation tomorrow. All is going well and
24:10
Speaker 4: his recovery and he's set up to pitch tomorrow. Dustin
24:13
Speaker 4: May possibly on Thursday, we'll see. It's tentative, but he
24:18
Speaker 4: should be in town today along with Antonio Censatela and
24:22
Speaker 4: Jojo Romero. All of the trade deadline acquisitions made by
24:25
Speaker 4: the Brewers yesterday, and they should be in town today
24:28
Speaker 4: to meet their teammates, et cetera, and then we should
24:31
Speaker 4: have a better idea of how they will fit in.
24:33
Speaker 1: Romero is going to be out for a couple of weeks.
24:35
Speaker 4: He had appended sitis and so he had his appendix
24:38
Speaker 4: taken out in mid July. Hopefully just a couple of
24:40
Speaker 4: weeks and he'll be a lefty out of that pen.
24:42
Speaker 4: Antonio Censtela been with the Rockies organization for fifteen years.
24:47
Speaker 4: It was quite an emotional goodbye, it looked like for
24:50
Speaker 4: him and his teammates today.
24:52
Speaker 1: Sensaatela one stat.
24:54
Speaker 4: To keep in mind, a four to eight to one
24:56
Speaker 4: era at home this year, but a two point five
24:58
Speaker 4: to seven era.
24:59
Speaker 1: On the road.
25:00
Speaker 4: So anytime he was away from corus Field, he was
25:02
Speaker 4: pitching lights out, excited to see what he can do
25:04
Speaker 4: in the Brewers' bullpen. I'll have it for the baseball
25:06
Speaker 4: pregame show at five thirty tonight on Fox Sports nine
25:09
Speaker 4: twenty in Milwaukee and our social channels. This report brought
25:12
Speaker 4: to you by import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional
25:14
Speaker 4: vehicle care on South twenty seventh, just north of eight
25:17
Speaker 4: ninety four.
25:17
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thank you very much, Hunter Bombguard
25:21
Speaker 2: and thank you for filling in for Arman on.
25:23
Speaker 3: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Much appreciate it. Thursday, Friday, Monday, Yeah,
25:27
Speaker 3: much appreciate where small group, will you help each other
25:30
Speaker 3: out here? We're all doing for each other so much
25:31
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Thank you absolutely very well played. Yeah all right,
25:34
Speaker 3: hit us up eight seven seven seven nine seven three.
25:37
Speaker 3: By the way, burs had the comeback. They had a chances.
25:42
Speaker 3: It's easy to focus on Brandon Sprote, who I probably
25:47
Speaker 3: I think I mistakenly referred to as Drowing in the
25:49
Speaker 3: first segment of the program. That's okay, I've gotten those
25:51
Speaker 3: two names for some reason. They're not similar, but they're similar. Yeah,
25:54
Speaker 3: they're very similar, similar players, similar looking guys.
25:58
Speaker 2: Similar Shane Rowing if one and then two Brandon Sprote
26:02
Speaker 2: two syllables and one. But Sproute and drow and both
26:05
Speaker 2: have the long o sound and it's like you just
26:07
Speaker 2: can't I just can't keep the two.
26:09
Speaker 3: Also, they're like both young, first year starters and all
26:11
Speaker 3: that stuff. Yeah, similar type guy. I just I've done
26:14
Speaker 3: the same exact thing.
26:15
Speaker 5: Drew.
26:16
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's it's it's tough, you know.
26:18
Speaker 3: We also said sprout a lot by accident bro Sprout,
26:22
Speaker 3: Brussel uh, Brussels sprouts.
26:24
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we'll see what's gonna happen there. But not
26:27
Speaker 2: a great night for him, not a great night for
26:28
Speaker 2: the Brewers.
26:29
Speaker 3: No, yeah, let's struggling again in big spots unfortunately.
26:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's struggle in a big spot.
26:34
Speaker 2: But he was not alone on the middle of the
26:36
Speaker 2: order the bus getting nothing out of three four right.
26:38
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, William Contreras's kind of scuff. You know.
26:40
Speaker 3: It's you look at the Brewers record and you say, well,
26:43
Speaker 3: you know, this is going pretty well.
26:45
Speaker 2: How are they doing it when the main guys aren't
26:47
Speaker 2: high like Jake Bowers can only do so much, right.
26:49
Speaker 3: It's it's impressive to see what they've done in spite
26:52
Speaker 3: of the fact that those guys have been up and down.
26:54
Speaker 3: So this is a good thing, right, I mean, yeah,
26:57
Speaker 3: let's oh for four with a key punch out, Terrang
26:59
Speaker 3: oh three with two punch outs.
27:01
Speaker 2: Contraras zero for four two punch outs. Was not a
27:05
Speaker 2: great day for those guys. But this is why it's
27:08
Speaker 2: a team, and this is why you've got the guys
27:10
Speaker 2: you do, and then you bank the wins that you have.
27:12
Speaker 2: You're hoping to kind of get through the stretcher, you know,
27:15
Speaker 2: and now with the meanwhile, the hot batter was the
27:17
Speaker 2: guy bat ninth Joey or it's it's amazing how he's
27:20
Speaker 2: been being the guy.
27:22
Speaker 3: So you kind of hope that drew the cloud of
27:25
Speaker 3: the trade deadline now has passed, they can refresh themselves
27:28
Speaker 3: and just go ahead now with the last couple months
27:31
Speaker 3: of the year and try and make.
27:32
Speaker 1: This move them to do that, because aren't they facing
27:34
Speaker 1: Skens on Wednesday? It sounds right, I haven't. Look, hasn't
27:38
Speaker 1: been the killer that he's been.
27:39
Speaker 3: Well, no, actually school hasn't been either, if you want
27:41
Speaker 3: to go back to that discussion. But the reality is
27:43
Speaker 3: those guys are threats whenever they pitch. We do have
27:47
Speaker 3: some tech. Should we get to those are yeah, let's
27:48
Speaker 3: hear it. Eight seven seven, Good morning man, bear boo
27:53
Speaker 3: Bob here. I was not a good day for the
27:55
Speaker 3: Brewers yesterday, or was it? He's asked, I say no.
27:58
Speaker 3: If you looked at May's stats, we made it out
28:00
Speaker 3: of the fifteen een ones. Baseball people said the Brewers
28:02
Speaker 3: are one of the losers on the trade deadline. Well,
28:04
Speaker 3: I agree, What are we holding on to these prospects
28:06
Speaker 3: for better come up soon. We sure need the hitting
28:09
Speaker 3: late legue. Well, we they have come up. I mean,
28:11
Speaker 3: we've had the best record in baseball. They've still brought
28:14
Speaker 3: up Cooper Pratt and Luis Laara through in the middle
28:16
Speaker 3: of the year. Truly, this has been a unique year.
28:18
Speaker 3: I mean, the Brewers have been really good on the
28:20
Speaker 3: field all year, yet we've been obsessed with prospects kind of. Yeah,
28:23
Speaker 3: So it's been a really odd year in that regard,
28:26
Speaker 3: and I've remarked on that throughout the summer and it's continuing.
28:29
Speaker 3: I understand why it feels that they're not a winner.
28:32
Speaker 3: I mean, you could definitely say they're a loser for
28:34
Speaker 3: the deadline based on what everybody else did. But there's
28:37
Speaker 3: no question this team is not a loser when it
28:39
Speaker 3: comes to what they've done in the field this year.
28:41
Speaker 3: I mean that goes without saying quite literally. So the
28:45
Speaker 3: trade deadline is like, do you want to win the
28:47
Speaker 3: deadline or do you want to win the season?
28:48
Speaker 1: And the Brewers have done that pretty well.
28:49
Speaker 3: Now it's their job to continue doing that with these
28:52
Speaker 3: last you know, seven eight weeks whatever it's left. But
28:56
Speaker 3: they're only twenty one wins away right from ninety, which
28:58
Speaker 3: is remarkable, amazing. I get the frustration.
29:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, yeah, Skens does start wins, Okay,
29:04
Speaker 1: Skan there there was other work cutout for him there. Yeah.
29:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that could be against Harrison.
29:12
Speaker 1: How about that. That'll be interesting. Get Yeah, I gotta
29:14
Speaker 1: get that matchup in my eyeballs.
29:16
Speaker 3: Justin and Jacksonville screwed prospects trade for proven down The
29:20
Speaker 3: Orioles had four or five prospects in the top one
29:22
Speaker 3: hundred and three years ago and now only Gunner is
29:24
Speaker 3: still in the roster. Now that's interesting too. They gave
29:26
Speaker 3: up on a lot of those guys Atley Rushman, they
29:29
Speaker 3: gave up in the division. It was either Red Sox
29:32
Speaker 3: or Yankees for Rushman, so they.
29:34
Speaker 1: Just said, no, point out signing you.
29:35
Speaker 3: It's over twenty nineteen first overall, so a lot of
29:38
Speaker 3: discussion there.
29:39
Speaker 1: Drew across base has been hurt a lot.
29:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, been they're a little uh, let's just say they're
29:45
Speaker 2: a little nervous about that acquisition and the cost of
29:47
Speaker 2: it for the Red Sox from their side.
29:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that.
29:51
Speaker 3: But the Red Sox field they can make a move
29:53
Speaker 3: because they've been super hot twenty three out of twenty six,
29:55
Speaker 3: so oh so much to.
29:57
Speaker 1: Unpack about the deadline and a lot.
29:59
Speaker 3: More team teams making moves that I kind of thought
30:01
Speaker 3: Drew that was the other other kind of theme of
30:03
Speaker 3: that deal. All right, So we do have a lot
30:07
Speaker 3: of good audio. I know we have to get to
30:08
Speaker 3: a break here soon. But yeah, we have to hear
30:10
Speaker 3: from Murphy in the schoopl situation and Matt Arnold.
30:13
Speaker 2: When we come back, we will hear from the principles involved.
30:16
Speaker 2: We will hear from Pat Murphy and Matt Arnold about
30:20
Speaker 2: what happened and what didn't happen yesterday.
30:22
Speaker 1: Again, I have.
30:24
Speaker 2: No basis for this other than intuition that Scott Boris had.
30:28
Speaker 1: A hand in this. It feels that way.
30:31
Speaker 2: Tom Hardcourt called him the true prince of darkness, and
30:34
Speaker 2: Tom Hardricourt the maddest I've ever seen Bud Selig was
30:38
Speaker 2: when the Brewers had declared that they had a line
30:40
Speaker 2: in the sand and they weren't going to go over
30:41
Speaker 2: a certain price to sign a top draft pick, Kyle Peterson,
30:45
Speaker 2: who was represented by Boris, and the Brewers did pay more.
30:49
Speaker 2: They paid the Boris tax, and Bud was all happy,
30:52
Speaker 2: and they were announcing the signing and Hardcourt said, hey, Bud,
30:56
Speaker 2: wait to hold the line on Boris. Now we know
30:57
Speaker 2: who the real commissioner is.
30:58
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
31:00
Speaker 3: And then he probably said, what the volcano erupted, You
31:03
Speaker 3: guys mess with me either way the volcano erupted, he
31:06
Speaker 3: went and uh, an expletive fulfilled diet tribe out of
31:09
Speaker 3: tom Watercour did not like that that suggestion. Don't you
31:14
Speaker 3: miss when team owners were a guy from the neighborhood
31:16
Speaker 3: that was just the guy you could talk to.
31:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would walk by.
31:18
Speaker 2: He would walk by us like three times a night
31:20
Speaker 2: in the press box and stop in our seats and
31:22
Speaker 2: shoot the bs with.
31:24
Speaker 1: The guy that cared. It was just like you. He
31:25
Speaker 1: had the fashion man.
31:27
Speaker 2: When he got mad, we could hear him slam the
31:29
Speaker 2: door of the box next to us, and then he'd
31:31
Speaker 2: walk over and he'd vent. He'd come to me and say, Hyla,
31:35
Speaker 2: you know, I really like this Jerrol Williams kid, and
31:38
Speaker 2: then Jerol Williams would make an air like that kid's
31:40
Speaker 2: a piece of crap, and then he would get a
31:43
Speaker 2: hit and like, I like this Williams.
31:44
Speaker 1: I told you before. I know what I said before
31:46
Speaker 1: about it on left. But I like he just.
31:47
Speaker 3: Rode the roller and that's great. I mean, and Mark
31:51
Speaker 3: us two. We have Mark, which is a blessing. But
31:52
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, these private equity owners now they're
31:56
Speaker 3: not doing that anymore. That's just not that's just not
31:59
Speaker 3: the same.
32:00
Speaker 1: God.
32:00
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, we're gonna hear from Murph,
32:02
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Matto. We want to hear from you.
32:05
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven three.
32:07
Speaker 2: Billy Schmid will be in at six Dolphins here for
32:10
Speaker 2: halftime at six thirty.
32:12
Speaker 1: Arm it's back in the chair.
32:13
Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Good job, Army,
32:18
Speaker 2: keep the good music coming. Eight seven seven, seven nine
32:20
Speaker 2: four one ninety seven three to the Nicolay Lauda come
32:21
Speaker 2: talk and text line.
32:24
Speaker 1: We are here again.
32:25
Speaker 2: The day after the trade deadline, Brewers made some moves,
32:28
Speaker 2: but not the moves folks would have liked. Had the
32:30
Speaker 2: Brewers got in the padres hall and taken you know,
32:33
Speaker 2: Robbie Ray and Casey Mies, I think there'll be a
32:37
Speaker 2: little bit different. Tenor fell to the discussion, no doubt
32:40
Speaker 2: what it felt different. And I think Dustin may is
32:42
Speaker 2: a good pickup, solid, he's gonna fit right in, and
32:45
Speaker 2: he's a guy that he's going to start.
32:47
Speaker 1: I would say game.
32:48
Speaker 3: Two, you know, maybe it's possible, depending on how you
32:52
Speaker 3: line them up, and independent on who an ideal line up,
32:55
Speaker 3: who's healthy enough unless you want to go right, left,
32:57
Speaker 3: right or something.
32:58
Speaker 2: But Dustin May is going to start the postseason for
33:00
Speaker 2: the Brewers, Yeah, I would say that. So he's got
33:04
Speaker 2: good stuff. Now he's a one year rentald, but there's
33:06
Speaker 2: a mutual option for like twenty million next year.
33:09
Speaker 3: There's a plane Brandon Wood twenty million to not pitch
33:11
Speaker 3: right if they find the value. Yeah, not sure that's
33:14
Speaker 3: in the cards, but it could happen.
33:15
Speaker 1: No one intended.
33:16
Speaker 2: And then someone pointed out on the text line last
33:18
Speaker 2: year after the deadline Wood he came back and then
33:20
Speaker 2: he got hurt, And that's true. He gave him a
33:22
Speaker 2: little lift. But hopefully Dustin May will stay healthy. All right,
33:25
Speaker 2: So let's listen to the principals. Pat Murphy talked about
33:27
Speaker 2: the Schooball machinations yesterday and this was the first hint
33:32
Speaker 2: of what a lot of people suspected.
33:34
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to what Murph had to say.
33:37
Speaker 6: You, guys, do you think the guys in the room
33:40
Speaker 6: take notice of some of the names that are being
33:42
Speaker 6: tossed around right now, especially with the doctors, and then
33:46
Speaker 6: have a little bit extra motivation made chip on their shoulder,
33:49
Speaker 6: we're going to take him down or or anything like that.
33:54
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you can't control what's out there, and
33:56
Speaker 5: these guys are on those those uh what do they
34:00
Speaker 5: have today? Is those blackberries? What do they Anyway, everybody's
34:14
Speaker 5: aware of everything, you know, everybody hears the names and
34:16
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff, and no matter how much
34:18
Speaker 5: you try to assure them of different things whatever. But
34:22
Speaker 5: to your point about like whether it's to die, I
34:24
Speaker 5: don't think we can be thinking about the Dodgers right now.
34:26
Speaker 5: I don't think we I don't think we can assume
34:28
Speaker 5: this is August third. I don't think we're gonna assume anything.
34:31
Speaker 5: We gotta go play baseball. And this has affected us already.
34:34
Speaker 5: It's it's already affected the team, and that's a reality.
34:40
Speaker 5: And yeah, I don't I don't. I don't think it's healthy,
34:44
Speaker 5: but it is our part of our game right now.
34:47
Speaker 5: You can't you can't try to pretend it's not there.
34:49
Speaker 5: And you can't lie to the players, you know. So
34:53
Speaker 5: with all that being said, we gotta respond to it now,
34:55
Speaker 5: and uh, whoever we acquire, which I firmly believe we will,
35:00
Speaker 5: whoever we acquire will help make us a bit stronger.
35:04
Speaker 5: And I'm thankful that you know we're doing it in
35:06
Speaker 5: a in a responsible way, and I I'm thankful that
35:10
Speaker 5: uh Mark and Debbie are willing to help support that
35:14
Speaker 5: whatever it is to help the team stronger here, to
35:18
Speaker 5: to shore up anything, cause we've been we've been riddled
35:20
Speaker 5: with injuries obviously, to lose Priest and Woodrow out of
35:23
Speaker 5: your rotation and now you're going with five rookies. Basically, Yeah,
35:28
Speaker 5: I'm thankful. Yeah, so I'm I'm sure well a team
35:34
Speaker 5: will be stronger by what time does this uh thing
35:38
Speaker 5: end tonight?
35:40
Speaker 1: Five? Can you explain what do you mean by uh.
35:44
Speaker 3: You had kind of said it's effectiveless somewhere in an
35:46
Speaker 3: opportune really help you with what do you mean by that?
35:49
Speaker 1: A little bit?
35:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, the initial reaction that it was kind of like
35:51
Speaker 5: us against the Dodgers for schoobl I don't believe that
35:55
Speaker 5: for one minute, meaning I'm not saying we weren't I
35:58
Speaker 5: know we went after trying to get that player. I
36:03
Speaker 5: don't know exactly the details of it all, but I
36:06
Speaker 5: know this. It isn't as simple as that's a better package.
36:10
Speaker 5: It's not as simple as that.
36:12
Speaker 1: You know.
36:14
Speaker 5: There's a lot more, a lot more layers to it.
36:17
Speaker 5: I don't understand it fully, but I think this is,
36:20
Speaker 5: you know, a bigger situation rather than well, that was
36:25
Speaker 5: a better package. And to say that the Brewers didn't
36:30
Speaker 5: try is simply incorrect.
36:32
Speaker 1: And trial I couldn't get anybody to try.
36:34
Speaker 5: You had to, You had to sometimes you just gotta,
36:37
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got to be responsible to you know.
36:41
Speaker 5: And the suggestion Benny, you know, does it Does it
36:49
Speaker 5: force you to go tight and sharpen your sword.
36:52
Speaker 1: A little bit?
36:52
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, So if that creates a little better edge.
36:58
Speaker 1: So bit. Still not gonna make it easy.
37:01
Speaker 5: Not gonna make it easy when we play the series
37:03
Speaker 5: against the Dodgers next week. But I'm sure they're they
37:06
Speaker 5: think they got a little better this week, and they
37:08
Speaker 5: probably did. But I think by the end of today
37:12
Speaker 5: we'll we'll have gotten better. And but but if anything else,
37:18
Speaker 5: maybe this whole time of year helpings helps us start
37:23
Speaker 5: to refocus. Okay, like who are we? Who are we?
37:26
Speaker 5: And how did we get here? It's a Solf's point,
37:29
Speaker 5: like we created this alright, where do we go from here?
37:36
Speaker 6: Point?
37:36
Speaker 1: But others, other stuff aside from the package, was is
37:42
Speaker 1: there anything to an interest of just being in la
37:46
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea.
37:49
Speaker 5: I I I know Derek a little bit and UH
37:51
Speaker 5: respect the hell out of him, but I don't. I
37:53
Speaker 5: don't know if he had anything to do with that
37:56
Speaker 5: or I don't. I have no idea about that. I
37:58
Speaker 5: really don't.
37:59
Speaker 1: Uh. I know that we worked hard on the deal.
38:02
Speaker 1: I know that we were active about that.
38:06
Speaker 2: Brewers skipper Pat Murphy laying it out a couple of tidbits,
38:10
Speaker 2: worked hard on the deal.
38:11
Speaker 1: We were active, We had it out there.
38:12
Speaker 3: He said it's not as simple as the best package,
38:15
Speaker 3: and he said it has effected the team, and I'll
38:17
Speaker 3: I don't see how it wouldn't. I mean, there's no
38:18
Speaker 3: question in this you play baseball kind of in the
38:22
Speaker 3: midst of the deadline in those couple of days, and
38:24
Speaker 3: what everyone's saying about you and the team. But that's
38:27
Speaker 3: why I say, now you can move as fans too.
38:29
Speaker 3: You get twenty four more hours of leak your wounds.
38:32
Speaker 3: Then you move on like that's it.
38:34
Speaker 1: It's over. Now it's in the rear view mirror.
38:36
Speaker 3: Now it's just about who's playing better on the field,
38:38
Speaker 3: and there's no more excuses for that.
38:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, yeah, did it affect him, Well, he said
38:45
Speaker 1: it did. He said it didn't. Now he's honest about it.
38:47
Speaker 2: I said, teams get a lift, like the Cups probably
38:50
Speaker 2: got a lift. They Hey, look at this, we made
38:52
Speaker 2: a bunch of moves like they're excited brewers, Like I said,
38:56
Speaker 2: it's like a C C plus.
38:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is fair. Now, you can't let that last out.
39:01
Speaker 2: If Dustin May comes in and slides on into the
39:04
Speaker 2: rotation and you know, hitches seven innings in his first game,
39:07
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hey, all right, let's go to town.
39:09
Speaker 2: Like it's some of it's gonna be results based. But
39:12
Speaker 2: they didn't get a bat. They got a couple of arms,
39:14
Speaker 2: they got one guy who's not gonna be able to
39:15
Speaker 2: pitch for a while. It's just it's not instant relief.
39:18
Speaker 2: But then again, they've been the best team in baseball
39:20
Speaker 2: that's much of the or among the best teams in
39:23
Speaker 2: baseball for much of the season, and.
39:24
Speaker 3: To his point, that's all okay, good time to refocus
39:26
Speaker 3: and say who are we? We've played really well by
39:29
Speaker 3: being we are. We're all we got.
39:30
Speaker 1: Now let's go. No more persecution fantasies.
